Marco Hake – Nurse Practitioner

MNurs(NursPract) Urol

Nurse Practitioners are clinicians who work collaboratively with specialists, allied health providers and support staff to achieve the best possible treatment, recovery and ongoing care outcomes for patients. Marco is passionate about his role as a specialist Urology Nurse Practitioner. One of only a few Urology Nurse Practitioners in the country, Marco utilises his extensive nursing experience in combination with his specialist training to inform, support and guide patients from their first referral to their final visit to Northern Urology.

With a focus on patient welfare and wellbeing, Marco walks each patient through an initial consult, using everyday language to discuss any issues and symptoms. He then passes this information on to the specialist with his insights into the patient’s condition and potential treatment options. Once the Urologist has seen the patient and made his determinations, Marco then supports the patient by answering any and all questions about treatments, medications and possible short and long term side effects. Through his guidance, patients are encouraged to make informed decisions and access the specific care and support options they require to optimise their health and wellbeing outcomes.
